Hallo zusammen,
es gibt doch sicherlich ein paar Fedora-Nutzer die Chromium nutzen hier im Forum. Dazu meine Frage, gibt es ein Repository für ein möglichst aktuellen Chromium (idealerweise in der Version 15) für Fedora?

Ich habe bis jetzt nur Repos mit der Version 13 gefunden. Da muss es doch sicherlich etwas aktuelleres geben.

Go to: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/  Go down to Chromium-stable or unstable.  Add the repos to yum.repos.d and install.

Hi GoingEasy9,
Thank you, still ask a question. Can I use the Chromium repository for Fedora 15 also for the new alpha version of Fedora 16, or should not do this better?

Mixing version repos requires using the baseurl line in the repo data in /etc/yum.repos.d/.  Instead of changing that info, I would download the .rpm's from the repo and do a local install.  BTW - someone who's more of an expert using yum & rpm could probably come up with a single line to solve your problem, but, I am not an expert, so I use the easiest way.

I would find an empty folder in my /home/ and download the files I want to install into it, then, open a terminal in that folder and use "rpm -iv --test *.rpm" (i=install, v=verbose)to see if there would be any problems with the install, and, if it ran clean, use the line omitting the --test to do the actual install.  

I don't know if these .rpm's are signed or not, so, if it complains about a key, you can use
--nogpgcheck to override the error.
